# Overview

To authenticate with Datto RMM, you need:
1. **Platform** – Your Datto RMM platform (e.g., `merlot`, `pinotage`, `concord`, `vidal`, `zinfandel`, `syrah`). This determines your API base URL like `https://<platform>-api.centrastage.net`.

This guide walks you through enabling API access and finding your **Platform (Region)** in Datto RMM.

### Prerequisites:

- Admin access to your Datto RMM tenant.

### Step 1: Enable API access and generate API keys

1. Login to your Datto RMM instance, go to **Setup** > **Global Settings** > **Access Control** and toggle the **Enable API Access** button.

### Step 2: Select your platform

Your platform corresponds to your region and defines your base URL:

- `merlot` → `https://merlot-api.centrastage.net`
- `pinotage` → `https://pinotage-api.centrastage.net`
- `concord` → `https://concord-api.centrastage.net`
- `vidal` → `https://vidal-api.centrastage.net`
- `zinfandel` → `https://zinfandel-api.centrastage.net`
- `syrah` → `https://syrah-api.centrastage.net`

You can also verify Swagger at `https://<platform>-api.centrastage.net/api/swagger-ui/index.html`.

### Step 3: Enter your details in the Connect UI

Once you have the **Platform**:
1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with Datto RMM.
2. Enter the **Platform** (e.g., `merlot`) in the appropriate field.
3. Submit the form to proceed to the OAuth consent, complete the authorization, and you should be successfully authenticated.
